Mozambique Independence Day


Independence Day in Mozambique, also known as ‘Dia da Independência Nacional’, is a significant national public holiday commemorating the country’s liberation from Portuguese colonial rule on June 25, 1975. After enduring over four centuries of colonization by Portugal and a decade-long struggle known as the Portuguese Colonial War, Mozambique finally achieved independence. The day holds profound historical and cultural significance for Mozambicans, symbolizing their hard-won freedom and the beginning of a new era of self-governance and national identity. It is celebrated across the country with various events, ceremonies, and cultural festivities that honour the sacrifices made during the struggle for independence and celebrate Mozambique’s rich heritage and diversity as an independent nation.
